If you want to ensure you're getting the best deal, try sites like BookFinder... They comb the Internet for book titles and pull up a list of all the sites where you can buy them. That way, you can easily compare prices and make the best pick.

In BookFinder.com’s list of the 100 most sought-after out-of-print books of 2013, Rage is ranked higher than any other novel, at number two overall. Used copies of the first printing paperback are currently on sale online for anywhere between $700 and upwards of $2,000.

The little blurb in The New York Times Book Review caught my eye. A website, BookFinder.com, had actually compiled a list of the 100 most sought after books that are currently out of print. Who knew I would share joint ownership of Book Title No. 1?

What do American collectors like to keep on their bookshelves? Sexy pictures of Madonna, Stephen King horror, hardback classics, a cookbook from a vampire and African spacemen. Those are some of the most searched-for titles in a list BookFinder.com has published of the top 100 out-of-print books from last year.

BookFinder.com has released a list of the 100 most desired out-of-print books of 2013. Topping the list was Madonna’s 1992 erotic coffee table book, Sex, and two titles from New England author and Red Sox fan Stephen King (above). No. 2 on the list is Rage, in which King writes under the name Richard Bachman. No. 3 is My Pretty Pony, King’s 1989 short story that was published as part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s artist and writer series. No. 4 on the list also has local ties.

Shop around for your textbooks. While one seller may offer the cheapest deal for one of your books, don’t assume that it will be the cheapest option for all the titles you need. Sites like BookFinder.com and RetailMeNot are great resources for discounted books and coupons.

Books gain pecuniary value merely by being owned by literary greats, and books they wrote can be worth far more. Bookfinder.com, my favorite resource for pricing old books, says a mere $37,510 will buy an autographed copy of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, for example.

The majority of 19th-century editions in fair condition range in price from about $10 to $50. To get a sense of where your edition falls on the scale, Mr. Nicely suggests visiting a Website called www.bookfinder.com and entering the author and title for a search. When I did this I found 511 used editions of Uncle Tom's Cabin listed, ranging from a few dollars apiece (for 20th-century printings) up to $15,000.

With the advent of such internet-based outlets as Amazon Marketplace and Bookfinder.com, however, every home with an internet connection has direct access to the holdings of thousands and thousands of bookstores around the world, and the likelihood of finding a remaindered or used copy—often at a price of literally pennies, plus a few dollars in shipping—is very high.

Despite the claims that the Internet has hurt reading, I say it’s the best thing that ever happened to used-bookstores. Between, Alibris, Amazon, and Bookfinder.com, it’s near impossible to come up empty when looking for a favorite.

Students have found alternative ways to buy textbooks. BigWords.com and BookFinder.com are popular websites for comparing prices for new, used and rented textbooks. Many textbook renters require the purchaser to pay for shipping one way and then send you the tags and shipping container to return the books when the semester is over.

Fortunately these two authors taught in places very much like SLHS and their more detailed stories do a terrific job of bringing the reader into classrooms that mirror my own daily experiences. {I found both books for around fifteen dollars on www.bookfinder.com.}

When it comes to reading material, Americans want Sex — and no, we’re not talking about 50 Shades of Grey. Madonna‘s wildly controversial erotic 1992 coffee table book Sex has has once again topped BookFinder.com’s annual list of the most sought-after out-of-print books in America.

The surge in publishing stats is largely attributable to computers, once considered the nemesis of books. The first book written by a computer is 2008’s True Love, which combines Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina characters in a plot written in the style of Japanese author Haruki Murakami by software written by a Russian publisher. It’s awfully bland, and it’s revealing that neither Amazon.com nor Bookfinder.com offer it.

The industry has changed radically in the past two years and there is a big fear of Amazon monopolizing the whole thing, because they’ve been ahead of the game. Which is why you should all use Bookfinder.com to search for books on the internet, as they will show you there are alternatives.

BookFinder.com has issued its annual report of the 100 most sought after old books on their website. This is one of my favorites as it's such an eclectic list. BookFinder is a listing site search, that is, it searches many of the book listing sites all at once for matches.

The re-sale and exchange of previously used textbooks has become easier than ever thanks to specialized websites like Amazon and BookFinder.com. And students should tap into their own personal social networks too.

John Yudkin in 1972 called Pure, White, and Deadly suddenly became extremely valuable. Copies that wouldn't have been worth much a few years ago are now selling for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Every year, the website Bookfinder.com compiles a list of the most coveted out-of-print books, and this year's report pegs Pure, White, and Deadly near the top alongside out-of-print standbys Madonna's Sex, Stephen King's Rage (which he wrote as Richard Bachman), and Nora Roberts' Promise Me Tomorrow.
